127 Hours
James Franco portrays climber Aron Ralston during his death-defying fall into a canyon that forced him to sever his own arm. After he got trapped between a boulder, Ralson stayed caught between the rock and the canyon wall for 127 hours before bravely cutting off his own limb at the forearm. Franco's touching performance and director David Boyle's ability to tell such a gripping story while shooting from nearly the same angle the whole time won the film six Academy Award nominations.
